1.       Scope of Work UNDP, together with relevant national counterparts, launches a regional SDG Pipeline Builder in Sub-Saharan Africa targeting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) contributing to climate mitigation and adaptation, as defined by the OECD DAC Climate Rio Marker.  The initiative seeks to source and screen SDG projects, prioritising SMEs focusing on climate adaptation and mitigation, as well as deliver impact management and transaction advisory services. Focused on the needs of SMEs, it helps enterprises to grow and enhance their SDG Impact by supporting financial modelling and preparing investment memoranda, offering capacity building support, and brokering climate focussed, SDG-aligned investment deals. Within the initiative, SDG Investor Maps serve as the starting point for prioritising interventions, focused on sectors and investment areas that have the greatest potential to deliver climate gains as a cross-cutting measure, going beyond traditional climate finance targeting adaptation and mitigation priorities.  In its first regional orientation, the SDG Pipeline Builder x PISTA - Scaling African SMEs in Climate Resilience targets the following priority countries[1]: Group 1: Ghana, Kenya, Malawi and Republic of Congo ·       Group 2: Mauritania and Senegal These priority countries can be slightly adjusted based on programming realities for discussion with the intermediary firm as part of the inception phase. The SDG Pipeline Builder can also target additional countries, as opportunities arise regarding investment needs and investor interests. In all countries, the focus of the SDG Pipeline Builder is integrated into INFF processes with the strategic priority of leveraging complementary private capital for development purposes, supporting national partners in mobilizing resources from the private sector both through the targeted capital raises and through technical assistance to country counterparts on sustainable finance mobilization and management.
